Super score William.

Check out this marble in your lot.

It looks like a Blue Panther!!

The image is blurred when I adjusted the size. Hopefully you can tell which one. If it's a Panther I would happy to make an offer or trade.

I believe your referring to the mib with the baby blue base...I'll have to get better pics of some more of this and others. Interesting offer, it would be fun too deal! I left the bulk at my brother in law's (except for the Sparkler) I'll pick them up probably tommorow and sort a little better. I did get scolded for desecration of the pool table. At least the cover was on! 🤣

Was poking around, if that is indeed what you think it is, it carries a bit of value. I just can't recall condition on it as I didn't take a ton of time going through them. Easy miss on the identity too since I'm still basically a novice. Sparkler, nice little German, now possibly a Panther? Maybe It would serve me well too maybe post all the mibs from this score in tiny groups, one at a time, for you all to see and highlight other possibilities? Hmmm....

Kinda crazy...this score took place at an antique mall that I had never been too before, about an hour drive northwest from my home. I walked in and there they were in the first cabinet you see when entering, all sitting together on the bottom shelf. The owner looked over at me and said "do we have a buyer?" I saw his keys in hand and felt like Scorpion off of Mortal Kombat, "Get Over Here!" 🤣 He stated that they had been sitting there for almost a year! One person, a collector according to him, looked at them a couple months ago pointing out some with value. Claims the guy didn't buy them because he has too much in bulk already. Lucky day for me 😁

Oops on the pool table and yes good the cover was on😀

Sounds good. Yes, better pictures would be good. We'll see how it goes.

There a lot of nice ones there regardless.

Of course of it is a baby blue Black Panther and in good shape or any shape it's worth $. The better the condition the better the $.

Mediocre madness, at least I found something, this has to be the driest marble area in the U.S I go up to and a bit over 50 miles in every direction and this is te best I can drum up, Ah !! well I did score a few onesie's and some Akro ware in the last month so not a complete loss.

I guess some of these will be good for my toe exercises the doc ordered. Yeah !! That's it, I was having trouble making up my mind which ones to use anyway !! Problem solved, there are a couple really nice pelts an Alley or two and a few masters in thus bunch so I'm not so bummed. At this rate I'll have muscles on my toes like Popeye has on his forearms.

A soon to be score I guess you can say, for my gals son for his upcoming birthday that I just put together. He's always had an interest in marbles but never collected, but is always checking mine out when he's over. It's a nice little random mix that just might infect him with mibalism 🤣 here's too the birth of another collector 🍻

A nice starter collection and an even better gesture - reverse score!

That's so cool ! I bet he might be a Rock Hound too 👍

You nailed it! He's actually the one that I started agate hunting with! First place he ever took me was a rock quarry with a 15 foot river rock mound. Most were about marble size and it was a challenge for a beginner!
